As recently discussed
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2014-02/msg00670.html>, it
doesn't seem particularly useful for libm-test-ulps files to contain
huge amounts of data on ulps for individual tests; just the global
maximum observed ulps for each function, together with the
verification of exceptions, errno and special results such as
infinities and NaNs for each test, suffices to verify that a
function's behavior on the given test inputs is within the expected
accuracy. Removing this data reduces source tree churn caused by
updates to these files when libm tests are added, and reduces the
frequency with which testsuite additions actually need libm-test-ulps
changes at all.
Accordingly, this patch removes that data, so that individual tests
get checked against the global bounds for the given function and only
generate an error if those are exceeded. Tested x86_64 (including
verifying that if an ulps value is artificially reduced, the tests do
indeed fail as they should and "make regen-ulps" generates the
expected changes).

This patch moves tests of clog10 to auto-libm-test-in. Note that this
means gen-auto-libm-tests will now depend on the recent MPC 1.0.2
release which added a fix for a bug that made gen-auto-libm-tests hang
for clog10. (It still can't conveniently be used for cacos cacosh
casin casinh catan catanh csin csinh because of extreme slowness of
those functions for special cases in MPC; at least some slow cases of
csin / csinh are fixed in MPC trunk, but not in a release.)
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.
* math/auto-libm-test-in: Add tests of clog10.

gen-auto-libm-tests has a bug in the logic for setting a sticky bit
based on the ternary value from MPFR: it is correct for positive
results, but for negative results mpz_setbit acts as if a two's
complement representation is used, whereas the low bit needs setting
based on the sign-magnitude representation GMP actually uses. (This
showed up in converting fma tests to use auto-libm-test-in /
gen-auto-libm-tests.)
This patch fixes the problem by negating the mpz_t value to set its
low bit. There are lots of changes to auto-libm-test-out (mainly 1ulp
fixes to ldbl-128 expected results), but only a few ulps updates are
needed on x86 / x86_64. In one case, a corrected expectation showed
up a spurious underflow exception where the correct result is slightly
outside the underflowing range.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.
* math/gen-auto-libm-tests.c (adjust_real): Ensure integers are
non-negative before setting low bit.

This patch fixes bug 16356, bad results from x86 / x86_64 expl /
exp10l in directed rounding modes, the most serious of the bugs shown
up by my patch expanding libm test coverage. When I fixed bug 16293,
I thought it was only necessary to set round-to-nearest when using
frndint in expm1 functions, because in other cases the cancellation
error from having the resulting fractional part close to 1 or -1 would
not be significant. However, in expl and exp10l, the way the final
fractional part gets computed (something more complicated than a
simple subtraction, because more precision is needed than you'd get
that way) can result in a value outside the range [-1, 1] when the
argument to frndint was very close to an integer and was rounded the
"wrong" way because of the rounding mode - and the f2xm1 instruction
has undefined results if its argument is outside [-1, 1], so resulting
in the large errors seen. So this patch removes the USE_AS_EXPM1L
conditionals on the round-to-nearest settings, so all of expl, expm1l
and exp10l now get round-to-nearest used for frndint (meaning the
final fractional part can at most be slightly above 0.5 in
magnitude). Associated tests of exp and exp10 are added and testing
of exp10 in directed rounding modes enabled.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly.

Various libm functions have inadequate test coverage in libm-test.inc
/ auto-libm-test-in - failing to cover all the usual special cases
(infinities, NaNs, zero, large and small finite values, subnormals) as
well as a reasonable range of ordinary inputs and, where appropriate,
inputs close to the thresholds for underflow and overflow.
This patch improves test coverage for real functions [a-c]* (with the
expectation of adding more coverage for other functions later).

This patch moves tests of ccos, ccosh, cexp, clog, csqrt, ctan and
ctanh to auto-libm-test-in, adding the required support to
gen-auto-libm-tests. Other TEST_c_c functions aren't moved for now
(although the relevant table entries are put in gen-auto-libm-tests
for it to know how to handle them): clog10 because of a known MPC bug
causing it to hang for at least some pure imaginary inputs (fixed in
SVN, but I'd rather not rely on unreleased versions of MPFR or MPC
even if relying on very recent releases); the inverse trig and
hyperbolic functions because of known slowness in special cases; and
csin / csinh because of observed slowness that I need to investigate
and report to the MPC maintainers. Slowness can be bypassed by moving
to incremental generation (only for new / changed tests) rather than
regenerating the whole of auto-libm-test-out every time, but that
needs implementing. (This patch takes the time for running
gen-auto-libm-tests from about one second to seven, on my system,
which I think is reasonable. The slow functions would make it take
several minutes at least, which seems unreasonable.)

math/gen-libm-test.pl has code to beautify names of various constants,
transforming the source form in libm-test.inc into the version
appearing in test names in libm-test-ulps files.
This has become decreasingly relevant over time for the M_* constants,
first as I changed the test names so only the arguments and not the
expected results appeared in them, then as tests have moved to
auto-libm-test-* so that automatically generated hex float constants
get used instead of M_* in test inputs.
This patch removes the beautification for all M_* constants. Tested
x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly. Even the one case where
this affected the name in the ulps files will disappear once complex
function tests are moved to auto-libm-test-*.

Bug 16293 is inaccuracy of x86/x86_64 versions of expm1, near 0 in
directed rounding modes, that arises from frndint rounding the
exponent to 1 or -1 instead of 0, resulting in large cancellation
error. This inaccuracy in turn affects other functions such as sinh
that use expm1. This patch fixes the problem by setting
round-to-nearest mode temporarily around the affected calls to
frndint. I don't think this is needed for other uses of frndint, such
as in exp itself, as only for expm1 is the cancellation error
significant.

This patch fixes bug 16338, ldbl-128 logl not handling subnormals
(with consequent inaccuracy for lgammal as well). The fix is simply
to use __frexpl when determining the exponent, as done already in
log2l and log10l. Given the lack of testing of small arguments to any
of the log* functions, appropriate tests are added for all of them.
Tested x86_64 and x86 and ulps updated accordingly, and spot tests
also run for mips64 to confirm the ldbl-128 fix.
Note that while this fixes lgammal inaccuracy for small positive
arguments, I suspect that there will still be problems with spurious
underflows in that case.

The most common use case of math functions is with default rounding
mode, i.e. rounding to nearest. Setting and restoring rounding mode
is an unnecessary overhead for this, so I've added support for a
context, which does the set/restore only if the FP status needs a
change. The code is written such that only x86 uses these. Other
architectures should be unaffected by it, but would definitely benefit
if the set/restore has as much overhead relative to the rest of the
code, as the x86 bits do.
Here's a summary of the performance improvement due to these
improvements; I've only mentioned functions that use the set/restore
and have benchmark inputs for x86_64:
Before:
cos(): ITERS:4.69335e+08: TOTAL:28884.6Mcy, MAX:4080.28cy, MIN:57.562cy, 16248.6 calls/Mcy
exp(): ITERS:4.47604e+08: TOTAL:28796.2Mcy, MAX:207.721cy, MIN:62.385cy, 15543.9 calls/Mcy
pow(): ITERS:1.63485e+08: TOTAL:28879.9Mcy, MAX:362.255cy, MIN:172.469cy, 5660.86 calls/Mcy
sin(): ITERS:3.89578e+08: TOTAL:28900Mcy, MAX:704.859cy, MIN:47.583cy, 13480.2 calls/Mcy
tan(): ITERS:7.0971e+07: TOTAL:28902.2Mcy, MAX:1357.79cy, MIN:388.58cy, 2455.55 calls/Mcy
After:
cos(): ITERS:6.0014e+08: TOTAL:28875.9Mcy, MAX:364.283cy, MIN:45.716cy, 20783.4 calls/Mcy
exp(): ITERS:5.48578e+08: TOTAL:28764.9Mcy, MAX:191.617cy, MIN:51.011cy, 19071.1 calls/Mcy
pow(): ITERS:1.70013e+08: TOTAL:28873.6Mcy, MAX:689.522cy, MIN:163.989cy, 5888.18 calls/Mcy
sin(): ITERS:4.64079e+08: TOTAL:28891.5Mcy, MAX:6959.3cy, MIN:36.189cy, 16062.8 calls/Mcy
tan(): ITERS:7.2354e+07: TOTAL:28898.9Mcy, MAX:1295.57cy, MIN:380.698cy, 2503.7 calls/Mcy
So the improvements are:
cos: 27.9089%
exp: 22.6919%
pow: 4.01564%
sin: 19.1585%
tan: 1.96086%
The downside of the change is that it will have an adverse performance
impact on non-default rounding modes, but I think the tradeoff is
justified.
The value of PI is never exactly PI in any floating point representation,
and the value of PI/2 is never PI/2. It is wrong to expect cos(M_PI_2l)
to return 0, instead it will return an answer that is non-zero because
M_PI_2l doesn't round to exactly PI/2 in the type used.
That is to say that the correct answer is to do the following:
* Take PI or PI/2.
* Round to the floating point representation.
* Take the rounded value and compute an infinite precision cos or sin.
* Use the rounded result of the infinite precision cos or sin as the
answer to the test.
I used printf to do the type rounding, and Wolfram's Alpha to do the
infinite precision cos calculations.
The following changes bring x86-64 and x86 to 1/2 ulp for two tests.
It shows that the x86 cos implementation is quite good, and that
our test are flawed.
Unfortunately given that the rounding errors are type dependent we
need to fix this for each type. No regressions on x86-64 or x86.
